All depends on whose key players stay back or move up to Varsity. This could be a down year for D10. Goaltending will also be key.

Centennial - Young team that should be able to keep everyone. They'll be good.

St Cloud - With the HS situation there, I'd expect them to lose at least a couple key players to Varsity. Even so, they'll still be a front runner. They have the most depth in bantams in D10.

Blaine - With everyone returning, they'd be a favorite. Word is that Bjugstad will be varsity and possibly a couple others. This will hurt.

Champlan - Another team that would be near the top with all players, but they can't afford to lose anyone - especially at D or G.

Elk River - Did not fare well 2 years ago as PW A's, but somehow, they keep producing talent at the Bantam level.

Rogers - Another competitor, but they too have a couple candidates for varsity.

Cambridge, Coon Rapids, Andover, and Anoka could be competitive against any of the above teams that end up diluted.

I don't think that anyone else in D10 will house an A bantam team this year.

St. Cloud will be good, 2 years ago they had 2 A peewee teams that both went to regions, so I think they will be up at the top.

Andover has no returning Bantams from last years A team. Their B1 team was average at best. They were among the bottom teams 2 years ago as PW A's. Look for more solemn stick salutes from them.
